    Option (A)

    Explanation:

    When a ray of light passes through one optical medium to another optical medium it deviates from its path. This phenomenon is called refraction.

    The speed of light in different medium is different.

    As light ray travel from rarer medium to denser medium the speed of light decreases.

    Thus, it have to cover minimum path length and hence moves towards the normal.
